Janet, after years of working as a hairdresser and as a makeup artist, decided to go into business for herself. Over time the business has grown into a spa and beauty retreat and she now employs a few staff. With her growing operation she has identified the need to implement a computerized accounting information system. In order to have a system that meets her needs exactly and also to save cost, she has asked you to create a simple, customized solution for her business. Her immediate need is for a customer sales information system, so that is what you will now create. With customer service being so important to Janet, her customers tend to become regulars and she wants to maintain a record of each customer’s contact information and preferences so that the spa will know what is important to the customer without having to be told each visit. The customer information that Janet considers important to maintain is the full name, cellphone number, favourite treatment, and special considerations (e.g. some customers have allergies or require fragrance-free products). For employees, Janet just needs to record the names and cell phone numbers in the database. The spa also has a standard list of services which each have a standard name, description and price. Janet also wants a database record of each customer visit both for customer billing at the time of service, as well as for future analysis. Janet wants to refer to these sales transactions as “Visits” in the database in order to reflect the spa’s focus on customers’ experiences. For each of these customer visits it is important to record a unique visit identifier, the date, the customer, the main staff member who served the customer, and the service or services experienced (sold).

A medical study, a doctor is interested in determining what factors affect forced expired volume values (FEV). The doctor randomly samples 15 patients and records their smoking status and age. Using the data, create the regression output (including the y-intercept and both independent variables) then answer the questions below. Note that smoking status and age are recorded as categorical variables.

How to code the following function in C? (NOT C++)
int vehicleInsert(HashFile *pHashFile, Vehicle *pVehicle)
This function inserts a vehicle into the specified file.
• Determine the RBN using the driver's hash function.
• Use readRec to read the record at that RBN.
• If that location doesn't exist or the record at that location has a szVehicleId[0] == '\0': o Write this new vehicle record at that location using writeRec.
• If that record exists and that vehicle's szVehicleId matches, return RC_REC_EXISTS. (Do not update it.)
• Otherwise, return RC_SYNONYM. Note that in program #2, we will actually insert synonyms.
